Clinical Centrifuge

Description

A clinical centrifuge is a compact benchtop spinner designed for rapid separation of blood, urine, and other clinical specimens. It uses controlled centrifugal force to form clear serum or plasma, concentrate cells, and prepare samples for chemistry, hematology, and microbiology testing. The unit typically offers variable speed and time settings, a balanced rotor for smooth operation, and an interlocked lid for safe starts and stops. Clear displays, audible alerts, and easy-clean chambers support reliable daily use in diagnostic labs and collection centers.

Key features and benefits:

• Variable speed and timer control for protocol accuracy

• Fixed angle or swing-out rotors for tubes used in routine testing

• Safety lid lock and imbalance protection to reduce risk

• Quiet, low-vibration drive for comfortable bench work

• Bright display and simple keypad for quick training

• Resistant housing and stainless-steel chamber for easy cleaning

• Compact footprint that fits phlebotomy rooms and small labs

Typical applications:

• Spinning whole blood to serum or plasma for chemistry assays

• Concentrating urine sediments for microscopy

• PRP and PPP preparation in clinics and wellness centers

• Sample clarification prior to point-of-care analysis

• Teaching labs that need dependable, easy-to-use instrumentation

How it compares:

• Versus improvised or outdated models, modern designs deliver safer locking, better balance, and consistent acceleration profiles that protect sample integrity.

• For very high throughput or specialized protocols, floor-standing or refrigerated centrifuges may be preferred, while clinical centrifuges excel at everyday specimen preparation.

Quality notes:

• Supports good laboratory practice with traceable run parameters and routine QC checks.

• Compatible with common tube sizes used in clinical testing.

A practical, durable solution for fast, clean separations every shift.
